Aviara Trio visits Summit High as part of High Desert Chamber Music’s educational outreach
BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) -- High Desert Chamber Music presents an annual Concert Series that brings some of our nation’s most prominent classical musicians to Central Oregon.
As part of their visit to our area, every performer participates in outreach events that include a public Master Class, school visits, or performances at local retirement communities. To ensure equal access, all educational and outreach activities are offered at no cost to students, teachers, schools, and retirees.
“The Summit High School Music program was extremely fortunate to have the Aviara Trio visit our school (on Feb. 15). The students enjoyed the performance and the opportunity to ask questions of the musicians. As anticipated, it 'lit a fire; under some students to practice a little more, listen to a greater variety of music genres, and communicate with each other while playing. What a wonderful treat to have this outreach in our community!” states Orchestra Director at Summit High School Stephanie Seed.
High Desert Chamber Music also offers complimentary tickets to concerts in the HDCM Concert Series to Central Oregon K-12 students when arranged through their school’s music director. To take advantage of this opportunity, students must have their music director contact HDCM.
Remaining concerts in the Sixteenth Season include the Sakura Cello Quintet and Crown City String Quartet. These performances will be held at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Central Oregon.
